Hey I like this one!
The song is pretty cool, I like the chorus backing vocals. It reminds me of Pixies! The recording is pretty nice too. Your vocals aren't too bad, although you look like you are making great effort to reach the highs. To make it better I would just advise you to keep praticing it, sing it more often, play it more often. It's a pretty cool song.
For the vocals what microphone are you using?

This is a cool song and your vox is Awesome Here!!!
The lyrics are something that most of us can relate to
at one time or another in our lives, I believe....
This went straight to my mp3 player!

Yep - pixies feel. Can't go wrong with that.
I think your vocals sound fine and I also like the prominence of the bass line.

Another great song AWS! I've never heard the Pixies, but I guess I'm gonna have to check them out if they sound like this.
You've got a lot of emotion in your vocal. You do sound like you are struggling to reach the highs - but that's okay. It adds to the feeling of the song.
Keep working on it man. You've got some serious talent bro!

This is a really nice song with some really heartfelt lyrics.
Your vox sounds pretty good to me, strained on a couple of the high notes, but on the whole not bad at all.

On This Day bump.
Another one of my favourites. I really like hearing you sing and play acoustic guitar. Your newer stuff with RiffWorks is great too, but I'd love to hear more of your vocals & acoustic guitar as well.

I like it too, has a Pixies vibe going on for me too, which is good in my book ;)
Don't be too hard on yourself on your vocal, sounded damn good to me

This is cool. You need to be more confident, because these are stylish vocals. Hey... it works for Frank Black! The melody and songwriting is excellent too. It's all here: present and correct. Great work.

Nice bump Alex... popped in for a bit...glad I did. Johnny just hit me up on FB for an old coolant we did called Lullabone. I'll let him know y'all was listening to his tune. Maybe get the young fella back here for a visit.
